Final foundations of old Bay Bridge to be imploded later this year.
The last marine foundations of the east span of the old Bay Bridge will be removed from San Francisco Bay this fall, Caltrans officials announced Monday.
The remaining 13 foundations will be imploded between Labor Day and 13 November.
Caltrans officials said the schedule means the work will be completed one year ahead of schedule and save taxpayers nearly $10 million.
It is expected that multiple piers will be removed on certain days. Studies based on the implosions of other foundations in 2015 and 2016 showed that there are minimal impacts to fish and marine mammals.
